On Thursday 17 November 2016 was published by Seuil a book called « Le Brouillard d’Arles », edited by Bogomila Welsh-Ovcharov.

At the same moment, the Amsterdam Van Gogh Museum released a negative statement on the authentification.

Without any doubt, this scientific discussion is, whatever will be the conclusion, an inspiration for scholarship.

We compare one point which could become pieces of disproving/supporting evidence :

The Pont Langlois, (first drawing, Pont-X).

The Amsterdam Museum proposes an argument : « The house is on the wrong side of the canal ».

The actual Pont Van Gogh bridge in Arles, (Point Kilometrique 2.470 on the « Arles to Bouc » Canal) is a reconstitution, the historic Pont de Langlois was in another location (Road D35 crossing, Point Kilometrique 0.520 on the « Arles to Bouc » Canal, destroyed in 1930, rebuilt in cement, le pont de Réginel , itself bombed down by German troops in August 1944).

We received some comments and suggestions from diffrent amateurs, so please find here the list of lots with complements or corrections :

3, 12, 29, 32, 34, 48, 52, 53, 80, 81, 109, 110, 116, 120, 125, 138

Lot 3 did not come

Lot 12, the negative represents also the right bank

Lot 29 is not anymore attributed to Caneva. It is only a different view from Caneva’s « Aniene and Ponte Nomentano » composition. A connoisseur suggested it should be attributed to Eugène Le Dien (similar dimensions, paper and tonality). The print was exhibited in Chicago in 1980.

A federal judge was slain Monday in Metepec (Toluca) in the state of Mexico, which borders the Santa Fe borough of the capital.

Vicente Antonio Bermudez Zacarias was a district court magistrate for appeals and civil judgments in the city of Toluca, according to a statement from Mexico’s Supreme Court (The most important cases, like El Chapo case or the 43 students of Ayotzinapa). He was killed in nearby Metepec.

President Enrique Peña Nieto, speaking to an international gathering of judges in Mexico, lamented the news and said he had instructed the attorney general’s office to lead the investigation. Various Mexican media outlets reported that Mr. Bermudez was shot in the head while exercising outdoors. There was no immediate word on a possible motive. — From The Associated Press.
